Born in 1983, SEO Hyun-woo was a kid with a hot temperament who grew extremely tired of studying constantly at his boarding middle school but found a way of “controlling himself” in the acting class he joined one day by chance. While he was studying English Literature in college, he caused a commotion at home when he announced out of the blue that he would pursue an acting career. After working part-time as a bartender in Daehangno for a while as a way to get acquainted to stage actors who would frequent the neighboring theaters, he eventually entered the theatre department of the Korea National University of Arts.

Among his most notable credits of that early period as a bit part actor are <The Face Reader> (2013), <Hope> (2013), <A Hard Day> (2013) and <Veteran> (2014).
